' ADVERTISING LETTER-PAPER AND ENVELOPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,179, dated December 11, 1883.

Application filed October 23, 1883. (N model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, F. PANGAERT D Ornonr, of Brussels, Belgium, have invented a new and Improved Advertising Letter-Paper and Envelope, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved form of letter-paper sheets provided with advertisements, &c., which can be removed before the letter is folded and mailed; and to this end it consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts, as herein after fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure l is a front or face view of asheet of my improved" letter-paper. Fig. 2 is a rear V view of the same.

The face of a sheet, A, is divided by lines a into a series of square spaces or fields, BB, for receiving advertisements, &c. At the middle of the upper part of the sheet a blank space, 0, is left, which is not subdivided into squares, and is provided with rulings d. The letter is to be written on the blank space 0. The rows of squares B at each side of the blank spaceO are separated from the adjoining rows B, and the rows B at the bottom are separated from the blank 0 by perforated lines b, the lower ends of which are connected by a transverse perforated line, b, extending along the bottom of the blank space 0. A perforate line, b, extends across the top of the sheet a short distance from the upper edge, which line extends to the upper ends of the perforated lines b, and from the upper ends of the perforated lines I) inclined perforated lines 11 extend to the middle of the upper edge of the Sheet.

The rear side of the sheet A is also divided into advertisement squares, or blanks, with the exception of a blank space, D, provided with a small square, E, for receiving the postage-stamp, upon which blank space D the ad dress is to be written. Advertisements, time tables, and other information are printed on the spaces or squares B B on both sides of the sheet. The letter is written on the blank space 0, and then the part 0 and the adjoining fields or squares B are torn off along the perforated lines I) b 1) b whereby a flap, G,

will be formed on the upper end of the part 0.

The side squares, B, connected with the blank part 0, are folded on the same, and then the part 0 is folded. The tongue or flap G is folded down over the folded'sheet and gummed to the same, and the address is written on the blank part D, formingthe outside of the combined letter and envelope.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-" I l. Asan improved article of manufacture, a sheet provided with a blank space, in connection with two or more spaces at its sides and bottom containing advertisements, which sheet is further provided with perforatedlines for detaching the blank space and its adj oining side spaces from the rest of the spaces and sheet, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. A sheet providedwith the blank space O, the advertising side and bottom squares or "spaces BB, and the perforated lines b, b, b",

and b substantially as herein shown and described.
